"She's alive," the warlock said in shock as he realized the truth,"I can't believe Delilah lied to me. She told me Wanda's twin didn't survive but what I saw today is enough to prove her wrong, I will get my daughter back at all cost," his hand that was coiled into a ball with something inside, mashed it to powdery bits.He paced angrily around the living room, his hand on his chin, furrowed eyebrows, and his aged pet crow who was taking a nap was awakened by the banging of the table close to his cage,"Roo, you don't understand! Don't give me that look, your nap isn't more important than what I just found out."The terrified crow shook its head at regular intervals, trying to assimilate all its master had just said,"What did you just find out, master?" The black old crow inquired from the powerful warlock who was busy thinking about everything that happened earlier,"My daughter is alive." Roo shook his head as if he was trying to get something off his head,"Wanda?" He questioned
"Wake up, wake up king, you've been asleep since midday and now it's almost dusk, wake-up…" Abigail shook him several times to which he answered in his sleepy voice,"Gaelly, what is it? I allowed you to sleep all-day. Just let me sleep some more, please…""It's not day anymore, it's dusk. We have to keep moving, I told my sister we'll be there in two days but we aren't there yet. Besides, it's already dusk."The moment Abigail mentioned dusk, King rose up like someone who was electrocuted,"Dusk?" his hand ran through his perfect dark hair as he questioned himself. He got up in a flash, organizing all he had before he took off with Abigail."I'm sorry I slept so much," King spoke softly to Abigail. She refused to bug him over the because he carried her throughout the night she was asleep,"There's nothing to be worried about King, I'm not angry with you. It doesn't matter if we get there in two days or not, but it's important you get rest so you won't wear out," King smiled when he s
Zina stood by her window staring at the kingdom she had ruled for years, by dawn she was going to be the crowned queen. She realized that her life had been routed to this kingdom from the start. Her stomach felt like it was in a knot and her heartbeat wasn't in a normal pace."Tomorrow, I will be crowned queen and then I will be ruler of such a big kingdom, all authority will be mounted on me tomorrow."Meanwhile, Xavier wasn't in a good mood, he was worked up and stressed out. He didn't love Zina, but he needed to go the extra mile so he could impress her. The diamond ring was ready and so was the band he had hired play the moment he kneels down to propose to her,"Marcus!" He yelled out as he gulped down the last bit of alcohol in his cup, he was wasted, completely drunk, he was doing crazy things because of power but nothing pained him like him proposing to that stupid girl."Marcus, take me to my room!" Xavier ordered in his drunken state,"Marcus!" He yelled again, not knowing h
The long awaited day finally arrived, all preparation for the party had already been made available.Different dignitaries could be seen going into the palace compound and one of such dignitaries was the well known King Xavier who arrived in his golden chariot causing all attention to be drawn to him.The kingdom's streets were empty as everyone was dressed in their best attire to attend the princess' celebration, this was a rarely occurring event in which no one would want to miss."Janet please, let me go, this celebration especially the coronation is usually so rare, don't let me miss it," Levi pleaded but Janet was not ready to listen to his plea. She believed he had suffered alot and wasn't supposed to go through such cruel treatment for a girl who didn't love him."I said No! I don't hate her, but she has caused you so much pain. It's best you stay away," Janet stated simply."But…" "No buts…" Janet interrupted,"You can't go and that's it."Levi's face held a sad expression, hi
Ann's eyes lit up the moment Zina said yes. For the first time Zina did the right thing that made her proud. She smiled happily as everyone cheered for Zina's new betrothed. The long night continued with Zina and Xavier taking a stroll together in the palace garden. There was a kind of silence between them and it bothered Zina so much."Do you really love me? Or this was a way to gain partnership between both kingdoms," Zina asked in a saddened tone, her voice sounding like she was about to break down in tears. Xavier smiled tenderly, holding her hands in his as he gazed into her hazel eyes,"I love you Zina and I know why you're thinking about the partnership but the truth is I've always admired you," Xavier confessed, leaning towards her for a kiss.At first, Zina didn't respond but after a while she responded with a tear streaming down from her right eye. She thought about how Levi was disgraced and how she would be able to face him again."Why are you crying dear, didn't you enj
Morning came faster than expected and excitement passed through Zina's vain like a rush of adrenaline.A random servant was getting her ready when Ann barged in looking grumpy as always. She gazed at the servant and Zina for a while before asking the servant to leave."Stay and continue with my hair," Zina said before gazing at Ann, then turning to her mirror like she didn't care."Princess,""You mean queen," Zina interrupted her, giving her the take correction look before turning back to the mirror again."I'm sorry your majesty, Queen Zina, I heard you'll be going with king Xavier to his kingdom.""Yes, do you have any problem with that?" Zina Questioned this time, her gaze focused on the mirror."Not really…""Then you may leave. I have to get ready for breakfast and departure, it's a long journey ahead of us. Duke Charles will oversee the kingdom while I'm away, and send him a letter as soon as possible." Zina ordered Ann who walked out the door of Zina's room without looking bac
"Abby, are you sure we're going in the right direction? You said it wouldn't take long, my legs are aching," Nelly complained breathlessly."Same here Abby, we seem to be walking for a long time now and this search isn't leading anywhere, are you sure you…""There it is," Abby interrupted king as she made her way through a bushy part. "Wow, we did it," Nelly screeched as she hugged Abby,"Shhh,"he placed his hands on their mouth,"You're trying to save your mother, not lead the enemies to your trail." King told them before taking the lead."Stay behind me, it could be dangerous," king uttered as they moved closer to the house. Both ladies nodded as they tip-toed behind king. The scream from inside the house made them storm into the house to see a surprising scene."Girls?" Delilah said in a surprised tone,"What are…""Mom?" Both the girls said together, "What's going on here?" Nelly ask in confusion,"Whose this man?" Nelly asked, moving backward, fear evident in her eyes, he seem
After dinner, Xavier accompanied Zina to her room. She was scared because he had been showing a different attitude she didn't understand but she guessed it to be because of the journey they had taken. "I told you I got you a little present right?" Xavier asked Zina who seemed to be lost in thought."My love," he interrupted her thought, "Is something wrong?" He asked again to be sure."Nothing is wrong Xavier it's just that, you seem angry with me throughout today." She confessed, lowering her gaze to the ground."Angry? No I'm not, I'm just a little bit stressed and that's all. Don't worry when you see your surprise, all these feelings will go away."He grinned a little to show her he wasn't angry as he opened the door to her room. She walked into the well lit room, looking around the room like she had lost something valuable."Where is it?" She asked, her face looking puzzled and she took a deep breath to calm her racing her."Close your eyes, only then will I be able to give you
